ART File Complications


Frequent ART Opening Issues

ArtCAM Not Present

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open ART Files" when trying to open your ART. If so, it typically means that you don't have ArtCAM installed for %%os%%. The OS won't know what to do with your ART file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.


Tip: If you have another software that you know opens ART files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.


ArtCAM Requires Update

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of ArtCAM installed that's incompatible with your ArtCAM Model type. Download the latest ArtCAM version from the Autodesk, Inc. website to ensure you have the correct one installed. Your ArtCAM Model file was probably created by a newer release of ArtCAM than what's currently installed your computer.


Tip: Right-clicking on your ART, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.


Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening ART files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.


Associated Difficulties Loading ART Files

Assuming you have the right ArtCAM version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening ART files. Other ART opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Additional factors include:

  • ART file type Registry entries are wrong
  • Mistaken removal of the Windows registry ART description
  • Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the ART format
  • Your ART can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
  • The ART is infected with a virus
  • Device drivers of the hardware associated with your ART file are corrupt or out-of-date
  • Windows has inadequate resources to open your ArtCAM Model file
